Cut off tough parts of garlic bolt and cut the rest in lengths of about 1.1/4 inches. Wash clean.
2) Heat frying pan and put in lard. When it has melted, stir-fry garlic bolt for a minute or so. Mix pork slivers in and then add sweet paste and cooking wine. Continue to stir-fry till it smells good. Add soya sauce, sugar and gourmet powder. Toss and serve.
